    1. 8 yds. I'll push out to 18 yds (the depth of the range I belong to) as I progress.
    3. Rested on a rolled up towel on a bench

    2. Loads (all sized to .357 and lubed with BAC)

    1st target:
    - Left column: 3.0 gr HP-38
    - Center: 4.6 gr Power Pistol
    - Right: 3.5 gr SR-4756

    2d Target:
    - Left: 4.0 gr SR-4756
    - Right: 3.1 gr TiteGroup

    3d Target:
    - Left: 4.9 gr HP-38 (top 2), 4.6 gr TiteGroup (bottom 2)
    - Center: 5.8 gr SR-7625
    - Right: 6.8 gr Power Pistol (top 2), 7.2 gr AA #5 (bottom 2)

    I will repeat some of these load, but changing the sizing to .358. I got some leading in the P238.

    Those COLs worked great in both guns. This was the second firing for the 380. Those went poorly. I over-crimped and swaged the boolits. Also, I used Win brass trimmed to common length for the 380. (mm was with mixed, untrimmed brass. Fed #100 used in both 380 and 9mm loads. I'll probably load up some of the Power Pistol 380 loads using untrimmed mixed breass next go around, too. Alloy is 92-4-4, water dropped.

    What powders and charges, dare I ask, are you guys running with these bullets in a 380?

    I have tried starting jacketed data and I'm getting over pressure. I've have AA#2 and AA#5. I fired two shots of each powder over my crono and got scared real quick, thought my crono was off, so I shot some factory over it and came up with normal readings, so starting loads for jacketed ain't going to work.
